C. Henry Smith Lecture: Tortured Hutterites left legacy of peace

Posted by Fred Steiner on March 5, 2012 - 4:20pm

In the cemetery at Rockport Colony, South Dakota, are the small, rectangular grave markers for Joseph and Michael Hofer, each bearing one of the brothers' names, his birth and death dates and, in capital letters beside each brother's name, the word "MARTYR."

The Hofers were so designated by their fellow Hutterites-a communal branch of Anabaptists-following their imprisonment at Alcatraz and what the church regarded as torture and death at the hands of the U.S. Army in 1918, at the close of World War I.

Five years later, Bluffton remembers tragedy

At the "Touching Home" memorial

More than 150 members of the Bluffton University community gathered on Friday to reflect on the life-changing events of March 2, 2007, when a bus carrying the Bluffton baseball team to spring-break games in Florida crashed in Atlanta, taking seven lives.

But speakers at the service marking the fifth anniversary of the tragedy also remembered the caring and support that came the community's way in the accident's aftermath.
